Study on Return, Readmission and Reintegration Programmes in Africa

ICMPD commissioned Samuel Hall to examine existing return, re-admission and reintegration (RRR) programming in Africa. This study involved:

• Overview analysis of legal frameworks at regional, continental, and international levels.
• An in-depth review of RRR initiatives and programming in 10 African Union (AU) member states.
• Identification of lessons learned from countries of return, including RRR best practices, standards and procedures.

It presents recommendations for sustainable RRR programming to the African Union Commission (AUC), Regional Economic Communities (RECs), and individual AU member states, and will directly inform the development of a continental policy on RRR.
